First up, I want to enter the "Old Stitches, New Tricks" competition over at &Stitches. I have a bike basket see, and I'm keen to jazz it up a little.
My inspiration has come from Greedy For Colour's incredible bike, and a simple little tutorial I found on cross-stitching onto a letter rack. The original plan was to keep with the monochrome colour scheme of the bike and use some silver wire but that has proved less than successful, so I'm hunting for some cheap tiny balls of wool that might be more effective. Watch this space!
In the light of my recent thoughts about snowflakes, I'd like to crochet some for a group of friends, each one unique. At last count I had 10 different snowflake patterns, and here is my practice run:
I also went a bit crazy and bought some clock parts the other day, so I'm considering trying to get some button clocks made up before Christmas in case people wanted to buy them as gifts. They will be much more simple than the one I made for my mum, but hopefully still as pretty.
Then I have a two more gift ideas to make in the next couple of weeks, more on those when they have been gifted! November will be busy...
Does anyone else have more ideas than time?
Totally have more ideas than time. I keep a notebook just for random brainwaves, most of which never get to see the light of day. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the Old Stitches, New Tricks. It'll be fun to see what everyone creates!
